I'm looking for a specific type of flower. It's small and white and it gives off a delicious scent. Maybe it's something like jasmine? I'm not sure. Its been awhile since I had any.

I think the butterflies will like it. {Granted they aren't real butterflies, but surely phantom butterflies love sweet scents too?}

I remember them blooming for most of the year or maybe I'm mistaken? It has been so long. My mind is getting old.

I was definitely spoiled back then. If I asked for them, someone would grow them even if it was the wrong season.

I know better now.

It's just the memories that I miss.

{Pretty much. Please don't get rid of him. Xie Lian has like...two friends. Maybe three.}

It's best if you keep your list clear. Vengeance can be so tiring.

{And ultimately useless.}

Sure, sure.

But if my king's uncle lousy uncle shows up, all bets are off.

[Though most of that vengeance will probably be Mobei. He will be hiding behind him, thanks.]

I can understand having exceptions. There is one god I would lash out at without hesitation.

{Because he is very dangerous and he doesn't need to get a foothold.}

Exactly. Me, I fully intend to hide if he shows his face, but if I get my hands on any fire spells, I'll provide backup for my king.

I can help you cultivate your power if you are interested?

Sure! I'll take any help I can get, though I don't think I'll be able to get my winter powers anywhere near his natural ice powers. The last time I saw him, he made an ice bullet and shot it right through my leg.

[Shudders at the memory. Got so close dying that day.]

We need to make sure he doesn't have a chance to use his powers, then. I know how to bind anyone.

{Oh no. That won't happen again.}

I have some tricks, but I'd have to use one of those wishing things to get stuff from home.

Don't think the shops are likely to stock any grains of Black Sun Immortal Fire.

[And frankly he wouldn't want to keep it too close to his king.]

It might not be such a bad idea. {Just to ask for an arsenal of tricks. They can be put away for a rainy day.}

I wouldn't think so, but it doesn't hurt to look. If I find anything like that, I will share.

If you find it, be careful. That stuff is very hard to put out once it gets burning.

[Can get behind having a bag of tricks stuffed away. Wouldn't be his first one.]

I will be cautious. Anything elemental should be handled with care.

{Exactly. There is nothing wrong with approaching problems craftily.}

[And that demon is absolutely a problem.]

I think anyone would sense would agree.

Maybe not some of the folk on the forging peak... but I'm not sure they count as having sense.

They likely have forgotten what it feels like to be mortal and vulnerable. I have not.

{Considering he keeps getting thrown back to Earth, broken bones and all.}

Eh, more likely they're just nuts. Most of the disciples aren't immortal yet.

[Teenagers. So many teenagers. And twenty-somethings that act like teenagers.]

Have they experienced devastating injuries or illnesses? If not, they are as naive as an immortal.

You'd have to ask Mu-shidi that. I wouldn't be surprised though, considering the amount of medical supplies I've seen orders for.

I don't know what else to think, then. They seem slow to catch on.

Or just teenagers. Which tended to be reckless even in my old world.

I was a teenager once. {Though he technically still looks like one.} I was extremely reckless.

I've been one twice. You'd think I'd have learned from the first time, but I was seventeen when I decided throwing myself at the feet of a demon prince was a good idea, so obviously not!

[Yep, absolute baby face Xie Lian. He has to resist pinching those cheeks.]

I feel like I've always been one... {In some ways. His body certainly hasn't aged and he has been made aware how naive he is in some ways.} But you survived. I think you have a very interesting story to tell.

Eh... to skip the part that paints me in a really, really bad light, I kind of just clung to him and swore that I'd follow him for the rest of my life so he wouldn't kill me. Whiiich he might have anyway if he hadn't passed out first. And instead of doing the smart thing and smashing his head in with a rock, I dragged his heavy ass to an inn. He was just too pretty to kill!

{His eyes widen at the tale and then he smiles. Slowly.}

I don't suppose we can help our...mm...type. I didn't understand why others had such a hard time around pretty women. Then I met my San Lang and - ah yes. I have empathy for my fellows.

[Clears his throat. Well, really can't deny that Mobei is absolutely 100% his type.]

We've all got a soft spot for what we find beautiful, yeah? And you've seen my king. He's perfect.

{He chuckles and cools his face with a simple, white papered fan.}

I think it best if I leave that thinking to you. San Lang is my idea of perfection.
